We’ll share this with our internal team and will let you and all our users know once the feature is launched. If you have any other suggestions, please feel free to contact us via in-app chat or email at support@heygotrade.com. Thank you 😊 ### 3/5 — Limited STOCK selection and poor response to request *2025-10-17, version 1.64.5* Gotrade has a nice user interface and easy to use, but is very limited when it comes to available stocks. Many performing tickers or niche like USAR, NBIS, UAMY, MP, and others you can easily find in other platform like IKBR, MOOMOO, are simply not listed here. And even if you request for these stocks to be added, nothing happens. Its disappointing for traders who want acces to more diverse or high potential stocks. ### 4/5 — Dark Mode Theme *2025-10-08, version 1.64.2* Please add a Dark Mode theme since most apps now have that feature. Will put a 5 Stars once you implemented it. :) ### 3/5 — Conversion rate is high *2025-08-01, version 1.61.15* I hope users will increase in number so conversion rates will improve as I was calculating when I test-withdraw 460$ the deduction was 3%, but it credited in my BPI account real-time. ### 3/5 — DEBIT CARD *2025-07-20, version 1.61.15* I really want to use my debit card to deposit money on my account but you guys haven’t updated anything about debit card ### 2/5 — 1 deposit option. $50 withdrawal fee!!! *2025-02-27, version 1.60.5* If only Gotrade can sustain its deposit options, having Wise is the best but now only had wire transfer for Malaysian (so old schooool). Seems no new development for user from this app, the withdrawal fee still maintain at highest $50 & poorly had 1 deposit method! I guess this app not for me. I kept this app just for browsing and favourite stocks notification only coz so far u guys had the best UX. ### 3/5 — Crashes Often *2025-01-25, version 1.60.4* It’s a good app does its job but it often crashes, please fix these issues. ### 4/5 — The conversion rate is too high! *2024-09-08, version 1.59.3* I just started daytrading at gotrade and i noticed that the fees are a bit too high for daytrading. 0.6% (0.3 buy + 0.3sell) trade fees, 2% conversion markup, 1% withdrawal fee, that’s 3.6% total. While day trading your profit is immediately cut by 0.6% fixed rate. So if only profit on avg 1%, i only get 0.4% of that! And that’s before the conversion rate and withdrawal fee. This app is friendly towards small to medium traders but it is brutal against daytraders and big amount investors because of the massive conversion fees and trade fees. Having over 25k usd invested i expected to be treated well, but instead it’s eye gougingly expensive with it’s fees. For example, in my 1,425,000 php balance, i already lost 28,500php just from the conversion rate alone! If gotrade could just lower either it’s trade fees or conversion rates just a little bit, i would feel like i have a fair experience compared to other investment apps like ibkr where total fees are just around 1.8%. (3.5% is way too much gotrade!!) i feel punished for putting 25k+ usd in the app and trying to daytrade for scrap value. ### 2/5 — Refund takes so long *2024-02-21, version 1.55.0* I don't know what happened to GoTrade. It used to be good. I encountered this problem before, regarding expired funding activity and then gotrade immediately refunded my money. But now, it's been 3 days already but I am still waiting for that small amount of money. What happened? I gave you all the proof. That Rapyd just deducted the money from my account in just split seconds and now I am waiting for days already just to get my money back. How come? Is it hard for you to review the transaction history? I know it is easy because you can see all of my transactions I had with you. I even used the same account and same E-Wallet. I don't recommend this app anymore. ### 1/5 — High withdrawal fee *2024-01-14, version 1.55.0* Amongst other fees charged by Gotrade, the user pays 50 usd withdrawal fee per transaction and it can take up to 5 days. This is ridiculous. I will not be using their services anymore. My investment on this app was a loss in every respect. Be careful when using this app and don't believe all the positive reviews or online video as they don't mention the negative. ### 1/5 — Nationality *2024-01-04* Im not seeing United States and/or Americans **Developer response:** Hi there, thank you for your interest with Gotrade. Unfortunately, due to regulations, we are unable to provide a service for those who are an US citizen and reside in the US. Note that if we have changes in the near future we will surely contact you. ### 2/5 — Please don’t use *2023-12-28, version 1.55.0* They have user-friendly interface, the app itself is easy to use. However, they have high withdrawal fees - $50 every time you withdraw. On top of that, I never received my money and customer service never replied. ### 1/5 — Fast deposit with bank is gone *2023-10-11, version 1.55.0* The first time I installed this app i can use fast deposit with bank but know i can’t use it anymore only wire transfer and the fee is really expensive ,i cannot take my money out too the fee is expensive too😩 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I’m not in Malaysia *2026-02-14* Can’t select US. **Developer response:** Hai, Thank you for reaching out. Please note that Gotrade currently does not support US citizens or US residents. If you have any questions or need clarification, feel free to contact our support team at support@heygotrade.com. We’ll be happy to assist you. ### 1/5 — I can’t invest *2025-12-10* Hello go trade i really appreciate your app but I can’t invest in stocks from Pakistan there is bangladesh india & other asian countries but i can’t fond Pakistan please do something about it i really appreciate your effort… thanks **Developer response:** Hi, Thank you for your feedback.

I put $10 on a stock, then tried to withdraw the money as the stock price went up to $13. GoTrade charges: $10 “bank fee”, then $10 “wire fees”, so it doesn’t let withdraw anything. So, on $10 you need to make $61 profit for you to get $1. Honestly, I don’t know why Apple lets this scam app on the Apple Store. ### 1/5 — Deposited to GoTrade, still have not received it. *2024-08-20, version 1.59.3* I deposited some money to GoTrade, but my investing account still hasn't received its money yet. It has been a week and it is getting concerning by the day. I have contacted their on-app customer service, but their representatives are only saying the same thing over and over - as though it were an automated response. Still no new information regarding the issue. I see other reviews here that the payment channels have been having problems. These reviews stretch back years. I am writing this review for others to see that you might not be safe from these payment channel issues - deposit or withdrawal. I will update if GoTrade resolves my issue. Otherwise, consider eToro. ### 1/5 — DO NOT INSTALL *2024-07-01, version 1.59.3* The apps randomly log me out of my own account! At first I thought it was just a fluke and I only have to log back in. It’s been a few days now and I still haven’t received any email to continue log into my account. I double check my account and everything. Not to mention the ridiculous $50 fee to withdraw is absolutely bonker. ### 1/5 — Give user more info *2024-04-05, version 1.56.0* The platform seems to claim it is global. Unfortunately, in the options of nationalities, the nationality I belong to doesn’t exist. I tried looking up the list before downloading and giving them my email and other info, but it didn’t exist. Now, after providing them with significant personal information, I’ve realized I can’t actually use the platform. ### 1/5 — Withdraw Fee Expensive *2024-02-17, version 1.55.0* u need atleast profit more 100usd to withdraw,withdraw so expensive around 50usd ### 1/5 — bad apps *2024-01-29, version 1.55.0* deposit not work and so long ### 1/5 — United States not listed *2024-01-28* United States not listed **Developer response:** Hi there, unfortunately we are unable to open an account for you based on your country of residence due to our regulation restrictions. We apologise for the trouble. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — My favorite trading app here in the Philippines! *2025-07-23, version 1.61.15* Never had any major problems. Customer support is quick to reply! Withdrawing/cashing in less than 5mins! ### 5/5 — App is great. I highly recommend it. *2025-07-09, version 1.61.15* User-friendly interface and beginner-friendly. I have withdrawn around $20k with no issue at all, except for one failed withdrawal which was promptly addressed by their support team. My only suggestion would be to lower the trading fees for those with a decent balance. For example, if I buy around $20k worth of stock, and sell that $20k worth of stock, in total, I will be charged $100 in fees. So if I profited $180, in reality, I only made around $80. Other than that, no complaints, but I wish they could make the fees a bit lower for bigger purchases since I have probably given them more than $1k in fees by now, but yeah other than that it’s a great app. ### 5/5 — Love this app!! *2025-02-21, version 1.60.5* I love go trade for many years! Easy cash in and cash out!! Keep it up! ### 5/5 — Pls add oscr *2025-02-18, version 1.60.5* Most easy and user friendly way to invest in us stocks ### 5/5 — Changes *2025-01-28, version 1.60.4* Price and percentage changes are not being updated. XLK is up 2.5% today, but in the app it says it’s down 0.23% ### 5/5 — 👍🏻 *2024-06-23, version 1.58.6* Great app ### 5/5 — Reliable Broker *2023-12-27, version 1.55.0* Been using this platform for almost 2 years now. there was a change on the fees on the platform that were reasonable and manageable. Hopefully this broker will continue in the long run (60yrs above) ### 5/5 — Simple and easy to navigate! Especially for beginners. *2023-09-23, version 1.54.1* Simple and easy to navigate! Especially for beginners. ### 5/5 — Cool Apps *2023-07-04, version 1.51.0* I love the UI/UX of this apps and it’s easy to solving the problem case when you get a bottleneck since the teams are very reliable. ### 5/5 — Great trading but… *2023-06-09, version 1.49.2* Been trading with the app for i think a year but these past weeks couldn’t even trade, makes me worry with the funds i have with my account. Hoping for a fix soon. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
